if it is at all possible i drive.

but if i have to fly i just go ahead and enjoy it. nothing you can do about it. if it goes down you are probably dead anyway.

in december after 9/11/01 i flew to italy with my four daughters and my mom. i made the reservation on about 9/6 and couldnt cancel. after getting my flight info i looked it up. the airbus we took was the same model as the one the tail fell off a couple days after 9/11. over the atlantic we ran into some very heavy turbulance. enough that at least half the passengers got air sick (me not thankfully). i just kept praying for the integrity of the tail.

after we got home i told everyone about the plane and the tail etc.

i am driving to wyoming in july while my wife flys. she still enjoys flying. we are old enough that we remember back when flying was kindof ritzy titzey. now it is one step above taking the bus. except for transcontinental. our plane to italy was alitalia. the food was supurb.
